On Reddit? It's horribly intransparent but there seems to be a special class of people to whom the normal rules don't apply. That limit wouldn't stop you creating more communities with more accounts anyway.

Stack Overflow is dead now.

Necessary for this is that subforums can't have unique names. If a bad mod can squat all the words like "computers", "programming", "coding", newcomers aren't going to know the best subforum is called

I still haven't been able to figure out how to make an account without it being immediately shadowbanned or normalbanned. Tried again the other day, it was something in between where logged-out users could see it was banned but I could

These days you'd be caught by the surveillance network on the first day.

How many other things in the operating system are like that already? Every file in your home directory, for instance?

We don't have that. If we did, California wouldn't have to mandate it.

I think you are backing away from the standard of evidence you yourself set.

What a shame. The California one is just an input box.

Some things being unclear doesn't mean all things are unclear.

Seems like the worst of both worlds, still having the cable, but two things to charge. I'd understand if your phone lacks a headphone jack, though.

The California age input law says that the OS shall not give more data than necessary.

What does that mean, though? In a sense, 100% of USD transactions take place in the US. But sometimes it's on behalf of someone else.

What if they are supposed to be in the country, but they are undocumented? This means "not having documents". It's not a synonym for "illegal immigrant".

Luckily some of these laws, which we're rallying against, make it illegal to pervasively surveil.

I agree that a checkbox for if the user is over 18 opens the door to a checkbox for if the user is a citizen and even a textbox for the user's full name (which already exists on Linux so you better boycott Debian now!). I don't se

If someone's given the choice between say Instagram and IRC, and chooses Instagram because they heard it has E2EE, that's a loss.

When they fall in line and add the age bracket drop-down menu, we'll keep using them because throwing a hissy fit over a distribution allowing you to select your age bracket is very obviously stupid.

That seems much more intrusive and bad for privacy than having the parent click a button that says the account is for a child under 18.

I got a pair of airpod clones on a whim (they were only $20 in the impulse buy section). Sure, they have less cable, but keeping them charged is very annoying, especially if wearing them for a long stretch of time. The charging contacts als
